Are you looking for a fun summertime job that allows you to be outside in the beautiful Northwest sunshine?

At Bliss Small Batch Creamery our mission is to amplify fun at our 3 neighborhood scoop shop locations and at all kinds of private and community events such as weddings, staff appreciations, celebrations of life, farmers markets, food truck events, school events, fairs and festivals, and more by serving up our delicious small batch craft ice cream in cups and waffle cone. Initial compensation $16.28/hr + great tips!

ONE FINAL NOTE: This is not a job! This is a mission! Please understand that if you are invited to work on the Bliss Team, we are fully expecting you to commit to the Team and to our Mission. Working on a food truck looks like fun from the outside and it is… but it's also a lot of hard work. There's a lot of pressure, orders must be accurate and beautifully presented, you have to work when friends and family are out having fun, and you have to be willing to pick up trash, clean utensils, mop floors, wipe down equipment at the end of the day when you are tired, etc. - and you need to do it with a CONSTANT SMILE :-). Do you think you can handle it? If you are the type of person who looks forward to talking to customers, remembering their names, making them laugh and smile, you’re applying to work at the right place, and we think you’ll love it here as much as we do!)
Our hours of operation are afternoons and evenings, with a higher demand on the weekends. Most shifts are 4-8 hours. Double shifts may be offered to qualified team members subject to availability. Must be able to work 4-5 shifts per week.

Our Requirements: We expect our team members to be courteous, friendly and engaging - every customer gets a smile and a welcome. We want our customers to feel great about their visit and our serving team is the key component to making that happen. We expect you to treat everyone, including your serving teammates, with professionalism and respect. We want you to have fun at work, but at the same time, we expect you to act professionally - we tolerate no harassment of any kind directed towards customers, other team members, or anyone else you encounter. A strong work ethic is extremely important to our success. If you are scheduled to work it is expected you will make every possible effort to meet that commitment. In addition, complete honesty and trust is a requirement and any violation will not be tolerated. I've read and understand these requirements, and I promise that I can commit to them:
